Navajo Arch

[singlepic id=1233 w=480 float=left] Back to Arches, because I was told that this should be today’s picture.  This is from inside Navajo Arch.  We were there just after rain, so there was a small pond going on.  I was able to get past the water, thanks in part to waterproof… Continue reading

Arches Primitive Trail 2

[singlepic id=1231 w=480 float=left] Like the picture from Wednesday, there’s nothing specifically important about this picture, it’s the 180 view from the location of the picture from Wednesday. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm @ 24mm, f/8.0, various shutter, ISO 100.

The Majestic Frog

[singlepic id=1119 w=640 float=center] Since there’s no reason anyone would understand the title of this post, I shall explain.  This was the rental car that Janet and I had in Colorado-Utah-Arizona.  I’ve mentioned it previously, but it was lovingly referred to as The Frog.  It was great, except the transmission… Continue reading
